Colorado Parks and Wildlife manager Jordan Likes said a moose so deep into the Denver metro area is unusual.

“We believe this bull moose was about 3 to 4 years old and 800 to 1,000 pounds,” he said.

Moose populations and the areas where they are found in Colorado continues to expand. Wildlife managers say since they don’t have any fear of humans it’s a good idea to keep a good distance from the animals.
